The 5 Daily Compulsory Prayers are sacrosanct on all Muslims, who have reached puberty just as the Ramadan fasting is obligatory all physically okay Muslims. There are other factors like maturity, state of health, embarking on a journey, age, among others which are considered before a Muslim participates in Ramadan fasting.

One thing about the 5 Daily Compulsory Prayers is that it is not seasonal like Ramadan fasting, which is once in a year. The 5 Daily Compulsory Prayers can not be substituted with any other act of worship by a Muslim, who has reached adolescence. This means it is an everyday work done at five different times of the day. The time for each of the five daily prayers is determined by weather most times. For example, the first prayer of the day, which is known as 'Salaatu Subhi' could be observed by 5:30am at some times of the year in Abuja, Nigeria. Also, in the same Abuja, Salaatu Subhi could be observed 5:55am depending on weather at another time of the year. The timing of each of the 5 Daily Compulsory Prayers is not the same throughout the year.
Talking about the current month of Ramadan fasting, Muslim scholars and those with the knowledge of timing of the 5 Daily Compulsory Prayers have drawn out a guide for the prayer times from Day 1 to Day 29 or 30 for Abuja, Nigeria.
The chart above shows the time table for the 5 Daily Compulsory Prayers for this month of Ramadan from the first to the last day for Abuja, Nigeria.
